Cole's good-looking candied yams.

The apartment missed the drifting aroma of turkey in the oven or pumpkin pie cooling on the counter. But Cole did whip up a favorite of his: Candied yams.

Before Thanksgiving, we knew the ingredients, but not the process to Cole's tasty dish. After a few calls home to consult the experts, Cole made some candied yams that he claims taste just as good as his mom's and grandma's. Thanks to Chef Cole, you can make the same tasty dish at home.
